As part of the partnership, Paradox will publish Cities: Skylines, the award-winning game of city-building and management from developer Colossal Order, for players in China using Tencent’s proprietary platforms. In addition, following the release of Cities: Skylines, Paradox will continue to bring its iconic strategy titles to China, beginning with its recently released sci-fi grand strategy game Stellaris and following with several more.

“Paradox is a company whose games possess universal appeal, and I’m eager for the chance to share our games with a broader audience in China,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “It’s important to us that gamers everywhere have the same high-quality experience with our titles.
